-### Classes as Mixins
+### Using utilities as mixins
 
 To use existing utility classes as mixins in your custom component classes, use the `@apply` custom at-rule:
 
 ```less
+// Input
 .btn-primary {
-    @apply .bg-blue;
-    @apply .px-4;
-    @apply .py-2;
-    @apply .text-light;

+.btn-primary:hover {

-    &:hover {

+// Output
+.btn-primary {

 ### Referencing config values in your CSS
 
-It's not always possible to build component purely out of existing utilities. If you need reference any of your Tailwind config values directly, you can do so with the `tailwind(...)` helper function:
